【题目】 We all want to be successful in our work. But what happens when our achievements come at the risk of losing important friendships? If your friends didn't receive what they were hoping for, your success could make them feel like they've been “left in the dust”. But does that mean that we shouldn't enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful when others aren't?

Those of us who value friendships and close working relationships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve our success, and nothing should take it away. Jealousy is only natural, but It’s often unreasonable, too. Your success is probably not connected with your friends' progress, so you shouldn't feel bad about achieving your goals. If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. You are not responsible for their weaknesses, and nor should they treat you sharply for furthering your work.

On the other hand, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. They could be jealous, angry or sad that they are not progressing at the same rate. So, be careful not to boast. It's a thin line between pride and self-importance, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.

Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners. Maybe your friends narrowly missed out on a position-raising, or experienced pay cuts which meant they didn't get what they were expecting. If your work is on a rising path, it doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.

Perhaps a step forward in your work has meant that you don't spend as much time with your friends as you used to. If you've changed a post or moved to a new office, take the time to stay in touch with old friends. Chances are that in the build-up to your success you've built strong relationships along the way. Don't let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.

【1】From the first two paragraphs, it can be inferred that ________.

A.we should enjoy our deserving success

【1】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段的But does that mean that we shouldn't enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful when others aren't?(但这是否意味着我们不应该享受我们的成就，以防我们让某人不高兴，或者当别人没有成功时，我们要为此感到抱歉？)和第二段的But we deserve our success, and nothing should take it away.(但是我们值得我们的成功，没有什么可以夺走它。)可推测，我们应该享受我们值得的成功。A. we should enjoy our deserving success(我们应该享受我们值得的成功)符合以上说法，故选A项。

【3】

细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段的Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners.(下次您想夸耀自己的年终奖或高级新办公室时，考虑一下听众)可知，当你春风得意的时候，你的朋友可能正在遭受挫折，所以我们要考虑他们的感受。B. Consider their feelings.(考虑他们的感受)符合以上说法，故选B项。

【4】

主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段的But what happens when our achievements come at the risk of losing important friendships?(但，当我们已失去重要的友谊为代价取得成就时会发生什么呢？)，第二段的If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them.(如果你的朋友不友好，不要害怕远离他们)和第三段的On the other hand, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. …So, be careful not to boast. It's a thin line between pride and self-importance, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.( 另一方面，你的朋友可能对你的成功评价很高，但却隐藏了他们的真实感受……因此小心不要吹牛。骄傲和自负之间只有一线之隔，越线的话，你可能失去团队的支持。)可知，这篇文章讲述了当我们获得成功的时候，如果朋友觉得嫉妒，那我们没有必要因为他们的感受而贬低我们的成功，如果朋友并没有因为我们的成功而远离我们，我们也应该照顾朋友的感受。所以这篇文章讲述了如何在成功的时候保持友谊。D.

The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This festival is a holiday of great【1】 (significant) and the one with the 【2】(long) history. It is celebrated by boat races in the shape of dragons. 【3】is exciting to watch competing teams row their boats forward to a drumbeat, racing to reach the finishing end first.

The boat races during the The Dragon Boat Festival【4】(be) traditional customs to attempt【5】(rescue) the famous poet Qu Yuan drowned on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277BC. Chinese citizens threw bamboo【6】(leaf) filled with cooked rice into the water. Therefore, the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet,【7】turned into the customs of eating rice dumplings.

The celebration is also a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of the year. Children born in this month 【8】(say) to be difficult to raise, and people tend to concentrate their effort during this time, to protect their families【9】 illness and bad luck. If one manages to stand an egg on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, the 【10】(follow) year will be a lucky one.

【题目】 Americans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. History is used as the basis for almost any modern action. The chances are that an Arab won’t start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The American assumes that time has depths but seldom stresses the importance of it.

The American never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future—one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There is real punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The American calculates how much time is required to do everything. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.” “It will take six months to finish that job.” “I was in the Army for four and a half years.”

The Americans, like so many other people, also use time as a link that chains events together. If one event occurs on the heels (紧接着) of another, they will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. If A is seen around the area of B’s murder shortly after the crime has been committed, they automatically form a connection between A and B. However, events which are separated by too much time are difficult for them to connect in their minds. This makes it almost impossible for them as a nation to engage (从事) in long-range planning.

【1】How do Americans see past time according to the first paragraph?

A.It’s worthless.B.It’s limited.

C.It reflects today.D.It helps start a talk.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “to do so” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.To calculate the value of the past.

B.To figure out the importance of time.

C.To plan a schedule for future events.

D.To meet deadlines and appointments.

【3】When will Americans chain two events together?

A.When common evidence is found.

B.When A is found near the scene of B’s crime.

C.When the two events happen one by one.

D.When one event happens long after another.

【4】What does the author mainly want to tell Americans to do?

A.See time further.B.Be punctual.

C.Study the past time.D.Make a long-range plan.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Nowadays, people all over the world are more connected, and therefore 【1】 is often said that the world is getting smaller. By this, they mean that with improved communications and trade, each country is becoming more and more familiar with one another. There 【2】 (seem) to be a lot of truth to this. After all, you can buy African food in Norway, or watch a French movie in China.

But in spite of this, countries still have the power 【3】 (shock) people who visit them for the first time. For many of us, there are still real differences 【4】 the culture and habits between nations.

Most often, however, it’s eating habits 【5】 are different between cultures. The Daily Mail article mentioned the shock of an Indian man, Kaushal Braot. When visiting a Western country, he noticed people socializing in restaurants, often spending hours in them with friends. Kaushal was surprised 【6】 in India, restaurants are for one thing only: eating.

The cultural differences people noticed can seem positive, negative, or 【7】 (simple) just strange. But rather than something to be feared, these differences should be welcomed. Indeed, if the whole world 【8】 (be) like one big country, it would be a much 【9】 (dull) place. So let’s be proud of our own culture, and at the same time, open to the cultures of 【10】 (other).

Dear Sebastian,

Unlike most of the flight I’ve taken on this trip, the journey from Melbourne to Sydney was thankful short. One hour! It’s much more hotter here in Sydney than in Melbourne, it is strange because I travel from south to north instead of north to south. Things really are upside down below the equator(赤道).

The Sydney Festival is fascinated, and I’m having a marvelous time go to all the art and film shows. It’s going on all mouth, and there’s so much to choose. Best of all, it’s not just in one location, but all over the city, because it’s a great way for me to explore Sydney.

Hope you’re having as many fun in Asia!

Zoe
